You could copy and paste search terms as you performed searches if that works best. I like a printed out copy of the chart, which I update periodically and print out a fresh copy, but that&#39;s just me.Michael John Neillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10785989524587275817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094378585879431819.post-51147031463170084272011-01-30T20:26:17.519-08:002011-01-30T20:26:17.519-08:00That&#39;s a good idea to have a name list, and in...That&#39;s a good idea to have a name list, and in particular to have the least common (lowest return-clutter) ones at the top. I don&#39;t have such a list and so just pull names off the top of my head, but it would be better to be more systematic and hence more thorough.<br /><br />BobGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094378585879431819.post-68891752363020454562011-01-28T06:38:12.711-08:002011-01-28T06:38:12.711-08:00Actually I didn&#39;t.

I searched for George Drollette as I knew he had worked for the government and had travelled overseas. Otherwise I just have a list of names and every so often I work through them, marking off the ones for which I search.Michael John Neillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10785989524587275817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094378585879431819.post-76262038127568816052011-01-27T22:04:57.905-08:002011-01-27T22:04:57.905-08:00Hi Michael,

But with dozens or hundreds of individuals on one&#39;s genealogical list, running them through the ARC search is very time consuming. And for me, at least, I&#39;m turning up nothing. Did you have a lead that suggested that search site and that guy? <br /><br />BobGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
